More about the book
The examination of large-scale religious imagery in 16th and 17th century British homes highlights an overlooked trend in art history. Focusing on gentry and prosperous middle-class residences, the author connects these decorative features to the concept of the 'godly' household. Illustrated with various forms of art, including wall paintings and textiles, the book explores how this imagery supported spiritual practices within domestic spaces. Contemporary texts further enrich the understanding of the visual elements' significance to their original viewers.
